Due in Mar/April/May 2015

LittleBaby NT stands for nuchal translucency, it is checking for abnormalities in the baby including Down's syndrome.

I decided to go to the shower. I knew if I stayed home I would just lay around and feel sorry for myself. I must be pretty good at turning off my emotions. Honestly I feel like I am just walking around in a haze. No one knew I was/am pregnant, I think so far it has made it easier. I hate attention and really don't want people feeling bad because of me. Someone even asked me today if I missed being pregnant. I can't believe I held it together.

No bleeding yet, just spotting here and there. Every once in a while I get some intense back pain that wraps around to my tummy. I just want it done and over with. This waiting around thing is awful.

I really feel bad even posting on this thread. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. Wishing the best for you all!

Eleena, hope your doing ok:( stay strong and try and concentrate on your beautiful boys.

Aww. Thanks u too.x I think I'm at the same stage as u.it's a bit heavier than spotting.mild backache but no major cramping yet.i won't go out the house at all at the moment I'm just scared it willhappen all of a sudden.x

Please try not to feel bad posting on the thread QueenB. We're all here to listen/read whatever it is you need to say. Especially because you're being private IRL & haven't got anyone to share it with (other than DH of course). Post whatever you need to. I'm really sorry this has happened. X

Thanks Primal:)

I can't even imagine what QueenB or Eleena are going thru. My thoughts and prayers go out to you guys. I hope you find peace and comfort thru out this hard time for the two of you.

Hey ladies how is everyone doing?
I hope u all r well and getting over ms and hopefully just enjoying pregnancy. I had my anatomy scan today and it was confirmed i am indeed having a girl!!! Im so excited. Baby girl was healthy and perfect. I hope to hear from u other ladies soon. Btw still dealing with the gross sour taste in my mouth, but well worth it for little dd :)

Hi Blessedmomma, good to hear from you - I had my anatomy scan as well since my last at 19 weeks didn't go so well - baby looks great and still all girl, just measuring 2 days behind. I still have placenta previa so have to be on pelvic rest and take it easy and baby's still breech which is not a big deal since Im still 'early'.

I feel the little one on daily basis though not all day long. She loves to kick me right on my bladder lol. I hardly felt my son so it's nice to actually feel this LO quite often.

I'm over the nausea and sickness thankfully and do feel fantastic. I'm able to eat everything now, which is NOT a good thing lol

Good news about scans ladies!! Nice to have that confirmation eh?? I had a scary thing happen to me last night I had blood in my urine, called healthline and my mid wife who both advised me to see an emergency doctor. Doesn't look like a bladder infection I didn't test positive and no other symptoms, but doc had me insert a tampon in case it was a miscarriage which of course freaked me out completely again no signs and no blood on tampon this morning so now I think they are going to look at my kidneys.
On top of this my eldest has pneumonia. When it rains it pours! Feeling very emotionally drained today thank goodness im home with my eldest XX

Hey odd i hope ur placenta previa resolves itself and u dont have any complications from it. I think they say its common for it to move and fix itself. Fx for that and im glad ur baby girl is doing well. Measuring 2 days behind is normal.

How terrifying that must of been kitkat! I pray that whayever caused the bleeding is not serious! And im sorry ur ds is sick. Hopefully he recovers quickly. :(

Oh Kitkat how scary. I had a bleed at 18 weeks with DS2 & it was terrifying. BlessedMomma that is excellent news about your DD. congratulations! Odd I really do hope the placenta previa resolves itself. I would go mental on bed rest!!

Thanks ladies..its partial so thankfully not as bad...my hubby us going mental though with me being on pelvic rest.

KitKat. That is solo scary. I'm so sorry that u have to go through this...whatever the cause is, I hope it resolves itself soon and I hope ur kiddo gets better too . do rest and take it easy

Sorry odd how inconsiderate of me not to read you are on partial bed rest, that must be hard at least DH is doing what he can to help you! :) hope the placenta Previa sorts itself out sounds like your doc/ob/mid wife is on to it and they will keep monitoring you xx

Just wanted to say hi! I haven't been around as much as before. I read here and there.

I am so sorry for the losses that mamas are enduring. Losses are so difficult and my heart really goes out to you gals.

Congrats to the mamas finding out they are getting their DG.

We had our anatomy scan last week and there are a few concerns but we don't have answers and have 4 weeks to wait for our next scan. Nothing seems pressing or dangerous, but they couldn't get various pictures, baby's belly is measuring rather large, and I have placenta previa, although potentially just marginal. They think it might be a lobe instead of a major part, but we don't really know. It's not complete, that much we do know. What they did see (minus the belly) looks good. And the tech did a fabulous job not showing us any spoiling pictures. We never even had to look away. I feel baby a lot now, which makes sense because the placenta is not blocking as much as I thought (it's anterior, but really, really low). I will be in and out. I just want answers, not necessarily because it changes anything, but i can't help but be a little worried about some of the unknowns. I hope it's all just a false alarm. But I'll love whoever we get. He/she already is pretty cute!

I hotdogz :waving: I was wondering where you were. I hope the results turn out to be nothing. 4 weeks can take forever when you're waiting for news like that. I hope the PP resolves itself & baby's large belly turns out to be nothing. I'm really impressed you managed to stay Team Green, both from the tech's sonography skills & your own resolve! The curiosity would have got the better of me I am certain! Good news you're feeling baby a lot at least that means s/he is active in there, bright & alert regardless of whatever else is going on. FX for you that everything is fine. I understand about needing to know. It's just about being prepared isn't it. Of course it doesn't change how you feel about your baby, but not knowing what challenges (if any) lie ahead can be disconcerting. I get it. X

Went to the dr today for a follow up appointment to my suspected blighted ovum. There was a fetal pole now????? Measuring 6 weeks 3 days. Tech could not get a heartbeat, but I was told it could still be early for that.

Here's the thing. I used opk's and thought for sure I knew when I concieved! This would make me waaaaay off! Like a month! I am so confused.

I have to go back next Friday for another ultrasound. I have a little bit of hope. Has anyone had this happen before or heard of it???? I don't think this could be considered a blighted ovum since there is a fetal pole now?? I know something still could be wrong.

Great news Queen! Seeing a fetal pole, but not detecting a heartbeat at 6w3d is completely normal. If all is good then they should for sure see a heartbeat by 7 weeks. Fingers crossed for you! Seeing a fetal pole during the 6th week is the most important thing.

I went in a 6w5d after having spotting and a little bit of red bleeding and "no normal fetal pole" was detected. My hcg was only 6000 at that point and I miscarried the next day. Have you had repeat betas to see if your numbers are still going up? Mine went from 6000 to just under 3000 in two days.

Hoping for good news for you!

They never took my blood. Which I guess I am ok with:-/ I really do like my midwife. She didn't make me feel like this was a lost cause, but she didn't give me false hope either. Last week she didn't jump to any conclusions and with having me come back in a week there is a fetal pole! Sadly I know a lot of dr's would had scheduled a d&c right there.

I have no idea how next week will go seeing how confused I am about my dates. But I am confident in my midwife and that gives me some comfort:)

Oh wow QueenB I'm crossing everything cross-able for you!!

Oh queen bee there is a ray of hope!!! Crossing everything for you!!
Hotdogz wonderful to see baby and super news there were no clues to keep the surprise alive!!
Hard to wait four weeks for the additional tests, sounds like nothing to worry about but we are mums of course we worry!! Xx

QueenB that's great news ! FX everything will be just fine

What awesome news QueenB! I am so very happy to hear a positive update!!

Hey ladies, six days till I know pink or blue and I am a nubsessive mess!!! No wonder I have two boys hehe
I found another site for anyone as crazy as me babynub.com two expert nub guessers are on there jennaemma and lovemy4 they just created it as ingender kept crashing! Super easy to load pics and a friendly site!
My DH bless him has been handling my crazy I told him I was super nervous about Friday because I had such bad GD with DS2 and although I think I will be better its hard to know for sure. When I told him I had 35 girl guesses and 1 boy guess (yes its the 1 boy that's bothering me!!)
He was like we should find out that's a high percentage that guessed. As I was ready to go back to team green from that 1 boy guess. So he is being supportive.
Hope everyone is doing well and I will try and control my crazy over the next few days.......X

Wow KitKat I cant believe only 6 more days!! My scan is 2 weeks from today. I have been nubsessing right along with you. I just keep going back and staring at my sono pics and staring at other peoples, and I could not tear myself away from "confirmed" nub galleries. I thought the same act thing - No wonder I am a boy mom haha. I do think your nub is very girly and will be 100% shocked if you hear blue, but that one boy guess would totally get to me as well. My hubby will not even listen to me talk about nubs or look at the pics. He wants a little girl so very badly (much worse than me) and does not want to get his hopes up. When you have your scan, I will have 7 days left til mine, so I have no problem dealing with your crazy if you promise to deal with mine. haha!

Thanks hairbows!! I felt like such a crazy even posting it, but have no one else to download too! I hear you its so easy to feel confident for someone else with all girl guesses but when its yours I guess you are protecting your heart a bit!! I will totally support your crazy!! My DH wants another boy so the fact he is listening to me is good and if its not a girl at least I know he will be a little more supportive than he was last time!

I don't know what u leaders are nervous about. I'm pretty confident u both will hear pink :))..good luck with ur scans and can't wait to hear an update

Yayyy queenB for a ray of hope. I can't wait to see ur positive update soon.

Kitkat Im crazy too , Im actually doing all old wives gender gussing from now ! And staring at everyones u/s
Im getting better at guessing actually lol and Im only 6 weeks !

QueenB i really hope u see a heartbeat at ur next scan. I have everything crossed for u!!

Kitkat yayyy for 6 more days! I have no doubt that ur going to hear girl. I can Not wait for that update :)

Hoping for hairbows i really hope u hear girl as well. I know its not an exact science but i do think a good nub shot from a good tech is pretty accurate. I had 100% girl guesses for my 12w6d nub shot and sure enough, its a girl!

Business woman u r my hero to want twins! I love twins but i can imagine what a fun challange that would be

BlessedMomma
It is a challange ! Im just hoping and imagening having them but actually its impossiple without meds
If I have twins I would die out of joy lol ! My dream since forever

ERMERGHERD, NF scan tomorrow! 12wks 6 days. FX both baby & tech oblige and we get a good look at the nub. I'm sure it will be sticking straight up (possibly with a blue flag waving on top!!)

Good luck missy!!! I will be hoping for a long flat girly nub for you!! Will you ask the tech for a guess? Post your pics here straight away!
It will be so lovely to see baby!
Four days till my big gender reveal and I have been managing to control the nubsessing!
I have just had really bad back pain the last few days anyone else have this at around 18/19 wks?

Still lurking around. Good luck to the mamas with gender scans soon!! And I am so excited for you Primal. I hope it doesn't have a blue flag on top ;) But I hope all looks well with baby and you get a good peek!

Good luck primal. Will be waiting ur updates... So exciting

Crap! They dated me a week ahead. I pretty much had a scan for no good reason because I'm 13+6. I'll pick up photos later so I'll try to post them... From what I saw I think boy, but my husband thinks girl. That being said, no point guessing from a 13+6 scan. $215 down the toilet 🚽

Totally every point still nub guessing from 13 plus 6 scan as far as I am aware!! But im guessing doing nt measurements was hard at that gestation? Awwwhhh can't wait to see pics!! Post on babynub.com too there are two experts there lovemy4 and jenaemma from ingender and everyone is super friendly!! Xxxx

Primal... It's not. I had mine at 13+5 and got a pretty good nub shot

Thinking about it, the revised date simply cannot be correct. If I'm 14 wks tomorrow I would have had to O on day 14. I was using OPKs so I know I O'd on day 20 or 21. My husband is 6'4" & he & his 3 brothers were all over 10lb at birth so I reckon it's just a big baby. My midwife said the earlier scans are usually more accurate.

I can't keep up with life at the moment but want to wish you luck for your scans. Primal i am sure you can still get a nub shot at 13+6 not that I'm the authority on such matters!

Kitkat I will try to come back here in 3 days for your girlie announcement:)
